Cooking Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a pan.

  • Add 1 cup of Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes until coated.

  • Gradually add warm broth (vegetable, chicken, or beef), one ladle at a time, stirring constantly.

  • Continue adding broth gradually, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more.

  • Cook for 18-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and tender but still slightly firm in the center.

  • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, butter, or herbs for extra flavor.

Tip: For the best risotto, use warm broth and stir continuously to release the rice's natural starch.

Storage Instructions

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Keep in an airtight container to preserve freshness.

Serving Suggestions

  • Classic Mushroom Risotto: Cook with mushrooms, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
